Course Objectives:

This course will give you a basic understanding of behavioral styles from high accommodators (i.e., dogs) to low accommodators (i.e., cats). Anyone who has ever owned a cat and a dog instinctively know the differences between their personalities.

In Charisma: A Cat in the Doghouse, this animal analogy is applied to people so we understand why "cats"  (low accommodators) are so difficult to work with, and yet their loyalty, once gained, is often greater than a "dog’s loyalty would be. This program centers on how a leader forms relationships to operate with influence instead of power.
